To all Leim/a it wmy/ concern. v

Be it known that l, Hanni.' C. Baines, a citizen o't the United States, residing at Plyinon th, county ot XVayne, State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and usetal linproif'cincnt in InternalCombustion Engines, and declare the 'following to be-a full, clear, and exact description of the saine, anch as will enable others skilled in the artto which it pertains to inake and use the saine, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which forni a part oli this speciiication.

My' invention 'relates to internal coniln|s tion engines.; and an object o t niy improvenientfs is to provide an iniproved means for controlling the intake and exhaust et :such an engine. 'l accomplish this object in the device illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which, i

Figure l, is a sido elevation of tha.l upper portion of a foin-cylinder internal coxnhusstion engine embodying my invention, the upper part of the figure being in section. Fig. 2, is a section on the lino AMA Fig. l. Fig. 3, is a section on the line l3-B Fig. l. Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7, S and 9 are detail sections showing .fliil'erent positions ot the valves.. Fig.l 10, is an end elevation of the engine partly in section. Fig. ll, a top View oil" the parte shoiyn in Fig. l0, the casing shown in section in Fig. l0 being omitted. Fig. l2 is a Side elevation of the parts Shown in Fig. l0 partly in section. Fig. 13, is a plan, partly in section, showing the relative arrangement ol the gea r wheels toward the bottoni of Fig. l2., Fig. lil, a section on the line JMJ Fig. 3 and approximately on the .line J---J Fig. l, the valves heilig shown in full. Fig. 15, is a horizontal section of thc outer valve shown in Fig. lil. Fig. 1G, is a horizontal .Section o t the inner Valve.

a, I, c, al, are the cylindera of an internal combustion engine.

c, isla cylindrical casing extending ahove the cyliialers a, Z), c, (Z.

f, is a lining for the casing c.

n. a .sleeve-like cylindrical valve fitting and adapted to turn in theilining f.

g, is a cylindrical valve Iilti ng and adapted to turn in the sleeve-like ialve n.. There is a tuhular projection 'a extending co-axially` from the cylindrical valvelg. 'l'he valve y] .The gear wheel 0 hears upon the projection u and is provided with a huh a: and tcetl'i which engage corresponding teeth on the sleeve-like projection t from the valve n. (Sec Fig. 1li.) y), is a gear wheel having helical teeth secured upon the projection a. y, is the inain shaft of the engine.. e, is a helical gear wheel on an enter end of the shaft y. I

shafts having at their upper ends.` helical gear wheelel o, 'au engaging, respectively, the gear wheels p and o. At the lower ends of the chatta y, r there are helical gear wheels 3, 2 which engage upon opposite sides of the helical gear wheel By this arrangement oi the gear wheels and shafts it will be seen that rotary inotion will be communicated in opposite directions lo the valves n, and g, and the gear wheels are so designed as t0 communicate the proper relative motion to the valves.

32, 17, j. Z', m, are partitions extending` t 'ansversciy aereas the valve 5'/ and dividing the interior of: .said valve into tour eo1npartlnenls, one compartment to each cylinder.

5 and are exhaust ports extending throiwh the wall of the casing c and its lining j. 7 and 8 are intake ports passing tlnfough said 'alls opposite to the ports 5 and (i. 'lhe portey and 6. open to an exhaunt pipe Illand the intake ports 7 and 8 (anmnunicale with an intake pipe 30.

t), l0, ll, lit. ll, l5 and 1G are ports lorna'd through the wall of the cylindrical Sleeve-li kc Yal ve n..

17, 1S, lil, 19320, Ell, 22 and 23 are ports :l'ornaal through the wall ot the rotary valve g.

524, 25, and 27 are passages opening lroui the upper ends of the cylinders (Z, t), a.

The ports 5, (l, lA and S open through the valve easing at an` angular distance of approximately ninety degrees from that at which the 1am-sages.v 24, Q5, 2G, 2'( open through Said valve casing. 'lhe portati and o. r are approxiinatcly vertical eiiisiie. llt will be ebseivef that the pei-i: i

The relative pohe :t5 siifl 22 sie shown in .t tile eed of compression es shown in ig. 6, the relative ai'- o the pests l5 snel Z2 being simi/ii in 7. At the end of the Working z5@ strele, the valve n has uncovered the open1 ing from tile passage 24, as shown in Fig. 8, and the pots 23 and 16 are about to register thus putting the interior of the valves into communication with the passage 2li. At se this time the ports 29, and l5 register with each otiiei, as shown in S, and with the exhaust passage 6 so that as the piston rises in the cylinder d, the products o eombustion Will be eyipeilefl through the ge 31. se T ie valve g is open et its right lmnfl enda :is shown in Fig, l, to a passage? through which e stream et Water is flowing into the int-etici1 o seid Valve. @he Water from the passage through the Water' jacket i5 fi, out "through the bere of the projection u JA L riff 11g,
